Hey everybody...guess this is my introduction, right??
So...basic things about me. I'm 20, attending a University, I play a lot of sports, I love watching football, playing guitar, and reading up on LGBT news. I'm a little weird, but good natured, or I'd like to think so.
So...I'm female. Or at least, that's what my birth certificate says. Of course, you can't tell that to the tomboy growing up, cutting her hair short and wanting to be a boy. I haven't changed my preferred pronouns, I still answer to she/her, but something just doesn't click with me when I hear that. I guess I'm here to see if I can get some feedback on how I do feel, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate to do it in the introduction.
I guess I sort of realized that I don't fit in with the standard definition of gender this year at MBLGTACC in Wisconson this year. For those who see those letters and are thinking, "huh??" it stands for Midwestern Bisexual Lesbian Gay Transgendered Allied Community Conference. I think. I got to see a very special artwork presentation on transgendered people and I got to know a lot of the younber people in the community. I can honestly say that they are some of the best people I've ever met. But it got me thinking really hard about me because I've always felt funny but never really acknowledged it until now.
I also want to say that I want to be a doctor. I've always wanted to help people. But I'd really love to become a surgeon work in plastics so that I can research and do work in helping people who transition. I understand that it's a difficult process, I've done a lot of research, and considering the political and economic struggles of the T community, it would be great if there was a way to make it easier.
I guess that's my two cents for now.
